    Our grass grew nicely over a manhole cover in the garden without us doing anything. We knew where it was so no issues.

    Ahh okay cool, thanks for your input!

    I was reaching out to those with any experience as there may be something we could do / get back.
    As someone with experience, I'd advise that it's normal to have inspection chambers as part of your new house in order to meet building regulations.

    Normally, the developer doesn't discuss these matters with purchasers, because their positioning isn't something which is negotiable. It's driven by technical considerations.

    I've installed new drainage in the last few years,adding/replacing a total of 5 inspection chambers. All of them have been located where conditions dictate, and not where I would have liked them from a gardening or aesthetic viewpoint.

    That's just the way it is.

    Ahh no worries, for all I knew I could have been taken for a ride. Thanks very much for this, every step is a learning curve at the moment.
